At the Community Kitchen Academy in Burlington last Thursday, Jim Logan's cooking tips to his students seemed applicable to life in general.
"Risotto waits for nobody. When it's done, it's done," he said. "It's time to take it off the heat."
As the students in the culinary job training program prepared grain dishes, Logan walked around the kitchen, supervising them with eagle eyes. He reminded them to wet put paper towels under their chopping boards to prevent them from sliding around. He praised a student for slicing red onions into equal-size pieces. He stopped another student midway through making vinaigrette and told him to put on his chef cap.
Since last May, Logan has been chef instructor at the Community Kitchen Academy in Burlington. A program of the Vermont Foodbank, it takes place at the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf in Burlington and at Capstone Community Action in Barre.
The idea behind the academy is to prepare underemployed and unemployed individuals for careers in the food service industry. Since the program began in 2009 in Burlington, and in 2013 in Barre, 271 students have graduated. They attend free of charge.
"It's a great opportunity," said Tiffany Ellen Rich. The recent academy graduate is now Logan's temporary assistant chef. "They're trying to help underpaid and underemployed Vermonters get jobs that are going to pay them well, treat them good," she added.
The program does more than provide food-biz training; it also instills in students a sense of confidence through community service.
Because of the Vermont Foodbank's relationship with supermarket chains, independent grocery stores, co-ops, large caterers and hotels, academy students are able to utilize and transform donated food that might otherwise go to waste. They learn how to prepare nutritious dishes and serve them to neighbors in their communities via food-assistance programs.
"I get a lot of satisfaction when I see somebody really enjoy [the food]," said current student Michael Hammond of Burlington. "All that preparation was for something, you know."
By all accounts, the 13-week program is intensive. Each student receives a weekly stipend of $75 to help with transportation and other expenses. By the time of graduation, a student will have acquired about 300 hours of instruction and production, a week of internship at a food establishment, and guidance on job-interview skills and résumé-writing.
They also obtain certification in ServSafe, a nationally recognized educational program administered by the National Restaurant Association. Those who intend to pursue higher education can earn nine college credits through the academy.
In Burlington, lessons are held at the food shelf's quarters on North Winooski Avenue Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cafeteria in which the nonprofit operates a soup kitchen every morning becomes the classroom. The room has no projectors or smart boards. Instead, two colorful quilts and "Hate Has No Home Here" posters adorn the walls. But if the Community Kitchen Academy lacks fancy equipment, Logan makes up for it with dedication.
"It takes a special person to understand how to be respectful and caring in the way [Logan] does," said food shelf director Rob Meehan.
Logan has worked for about 40 years in the food industry. He's taught at the New England Culinary Institute and was chef manager of Middlebury College's Bread Loaf School of English. His position at the academy is about him "giving back a little more and not just think[ing] about furthering myself up the career [ladder]," Logan said.
"I do love teaching," he added. "I love the process, because they are not going to be the same students as they were yesterday."
Logan's third class has seven students, and he interviewed each of them as part of the application process. "What we look for is motivation," the chef explained. "We look for a really strong desire to want to make something better, do something different."
Both Meehan and Logan remember an Iraqi student, Sahar Alsammraee, from Logan's first class. Though she isn't proficient in English, that didn't stop Alsammraee from participating in the program, they noted. She used a translator app on her phone during class and took pride in her work, said Logan.
These days, Alsammraee is busy with her catering business, he said. She's also leading a sold-out culinary class at City Market, Onion River Co-op's Community Teaching Kitchen next month.
A current student interested in starting her own business is Maya Gurung-Subba. The Burlington resident was born in Bhutan and lived in a refugee camp in Nepal for 17 years before resettling in Vermont in 2008.
After working as a licensed nursing assistant for almost eight years, Gurung-Subba decided that she wanted to enroll in a culinary school. She searched online for a suitable program and learned about NECI in Montpelier. Because she thought the location was too far away, she continued looking and discovered the Community Kitchen Academy through Facebook.
"I'm learning every day new techniques," Gurung-Subba said. She plans to open an Asian restaurant with her husband, who works at A Single Pebble, a Chinese restaurant in Burlington.
Students typically learn about the academy through referrals from other social services providers. For instance, Lacey Lawley decided to apply for the program after a staffer at Spectrum Youth & Family Services recommended it.
"For me, cooking is really relaxing," said Lawley, 21. "I've struggled [to find] something to do that my anxiety does not screw up." The best part of the program, she said, is meeting new people.
Rich learned about the academy through the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity, which oversees the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf. Her husband, Arnold Parent II, had gone through the program about three years ago, she noted. He interned with Sodexo at the University of Vermont for a week and was offered a job — as a breakfast cook — at the end of his stint. The couple is saving up to operate either a restaurant or a food truck, Rich said.
Not every academy graduate pursues a career in the food world, however. Just 68 percent of students from the last three sessions at the Burlington site have landed placements. But Logan isn't too worried about the numbers.
"The course is bigger than that," he said. Sometimes, family circumstances prevent graduates from being able to work right away. And even for those who don't pursue a career in food service, the program helped them to figure out their goals, Logan insisted: "In some ways, they've found out who they are."
Though the academy has been around for almost a decade, there's room for improvement and expansion, said John Sayles, chief executive officer of the Vermont Foodbank. "It's a mature program, but by no means is it getting stale."
Sayles would like to find a sustainable source of funding to hire a staffer who could provide personalized support to graduates and keep them connected to the academy. He'd also like to run the program in other parts of Vermont, such as Bennington, Brattleboro, Rutland and St. Johnsbury.
"I hear from communities all the time that they want this," Sayles said. It costs about $200,000 to run the program each year at each site. "It's really about finding the resources to make that [a] reality." Academy funding to date has come from several sources, including foundation grants, the Vermont Department of Labor, the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation and individual donors, said Sayles.
In Burlington, Meehan and Logan want to raise public awareness about the Community Kitchen Academy. "It's a challenge trying to spread the word and invite people to apply," Meehan acknowledged.
Providing on-site interpreters "might be a great way to go forward," Logan suggested. He's also working to develop better relationships with food-service establishments in order to secure more internships and jobs for students. For instance, local butchers are increasingly in demand, he noted.
Logan is also keen for the program to be more integrated into the community.
"I'd like to see us do a barbecue and the whole Old North End is invited," he said. "We are more than just our elements. We are part of this community."

Sidney Nakahodo is an alumnus of International House, born and raised in Brazil, and co-founder and CEO of the New York Space Alliance, a platform that empowers space entrepreneurs through mentorship, advising, investment, and community support. He also spends a lot of his time working with tech start-ups, playing a role as founder and adviser.
He is a current lecturer at Columbia University specializing in Political, Social, and Economic Development in Brazil, and is closely connected with Singularity University, a think tank and accelerator based at the NASA Ames Research Park, in the heart of Silicon Valley. He previously worked in the private sector and at the World Bank, and also spent time as a consultant for the United Nations Development Programme.
Nakahodo moved into I-House when he was 27 years old, after hearing about the House at an orientation session for admitted students at SIPA. He asked about housing options and they suggested he look into living at I-House. It was, in his words, "love at first sight" and was a decisive factor in his decision to go to grad school in New York.
He arrived in New York the fall of 2003 to start his Master of International Affairs at SIPA, and during his time at I-House did an internship at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) headquarters. After two "wonderful years" at I-House he left in the summer of 2005. He then went back to his home country, Brazil, to work on economic policies as a Senior Researcher at a think-tank. In 2007 he returned to the U.S. to take a position at the World Bank in Washington, DC.
He talked about how he tried to be "an active resident as an elected member of the Residents' Council and International Leadership Fellow recipient. I'm most proud of being one of the creators and first editor of "I-House Matters," the primary means of communications by residents for residents before the social media era. He went on to say, "some of my fondest memories relate to late-night conversations at the pub. Such moments used to afford me a much-needed relief from a hectic academic and social schedule. They were also an excuse to procrastinate with the justification of exercising 'cultural exchange' and bonding with other fellow residents." Nakahodo is still in contact with a few of his fellow I-House resident, and makes a point of visiting them whenever he travels.
When you look at the alumni of I-House they include myriad great people such as the author Chinua Achebe, poet and singer Leonard Cohen, Broadway actress Patti LuPone, Grammy award-winning musician Kinan Azmeh, and the first African-American female doctor to receive a medical patent, Dr. Patricia Bath.
Mr. Nakahodo is definitely part of this list of I-House greats!

The oil industry is at the center of the major struggles of our time, but is Marxist theory able to explain its behavior? The oil industry presents a paradox to Marxist theory. How is it that oil companies employ relatively few workers and invest in a relatively large amount of machinery, but still are the largest and most profitable companies on the planet? It should be otherwise, if profits come from exploiting worker's labor. In his book, No Blood for Oil, George Caffentzis shows how Marxism resolves this paradox and accounts for the peculiar role that the oil industry plays in contemporary capitalism as generator of ecological devastation, war and exploitation. Come to discuss the struggle over the exchange of blood for oil.
George Caffentzis is emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of Southern Maine. He has taught courses on oil and class struggle in many venues in Africa, South America and Europe. He is a co-founder of the Midnight Notes Collective and is the author of In Letters of Blood and Fire: Work, Machines, and the Crisis of Capitalism (2013) and Exciting the Industry of Mankind: George Berkeley's Philosophy of Money (2000).
Using Marx's own writings and some accessible writing by interpreters, this course will introduce participants to basic Marxist concepts and analyses. With short readings, focused presentations, and discussions, we will look at the rise of industrial capitalism and nationalism, the general characteristics of capitalist political economy and class, and the state, imperialism and war, workers organizations and collective power, and, finally, political action and questions of reform or revolution.

Mothering Performance
Maternal Action
Šimić, Lena (editor)
Underwood-Lee, Emily (editor)
Mothering Performance is a combination of scholarly essays and creative responses which focus on maternal performance and its applications from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives. This collection extends the concept and action of 'performance' and connects it to the idea of 'mothering' as activity. Mothering, as a form of doing, is a site of never-ending political and personal production; it is situated in a specific place, and it is undertaken by specific bodies, marked by experience and context. The authors explore the potential of a maternal sensibility to move us towards maternal action that is explicitly political, ethical, and in relation to our others. Presented in three sections, Exchange, Practice, and Solidarity, the book includes international contributions from scholars and artists covering topics including ecology, migration, race, class, history, incarceration, mental health, domestic violence, intergenerational exchange, childcare, and peacebuilding. The collection gathers diverse maternal performance practices and methodologies which address aesthetics, dramaturgy, activism, pregnancy, everyday mothering, and menopause. The book is a great read for artists, maternal health and care professionals, and scholars. Researchers with an interest in feminist performance and motherhood, within the disciplines of performance studies, maternal studies, and women's studies, and all those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of maternal experience, will find much of interest.

NHL Not Doing Right by Fans, Teams in Allowing Islanders and Rangers to Play
By Christian Arnold

What will the Rangers do with Alexander Georgiev?
Alexander Georgiev has had quite the rollercoaster of a season thus far for the New York Rangers. Early in the season, he was just plain lousy. He allowed 20 goals through his first five starts and posted some of the worst stats of any NHL goalie. On November 21, it looked like he was soon to be out of a job after being pulled from a tie game after allowing four goals to the Buffalo Sabres. How things have changed.

In this week's edition of the NHL Power Rankings the Florida Panthers take over the top spot after an impressive week that saw them score goals at a ridiculous pace. Whether or not they are actually the best team in the league at this point is certainly up for some debate. But there are two things that are not really worth debating. The first is that they are absolutely in that discussion for best team alongside the likes of Colorado, Carolina, and Tampa Bay. The other is that their ceiling is as high as any other team in the league right now, and that when they are playing at their absolute best they have the potential to make teams look like they are playing a different game.

2021 Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro track review
When the fire-breathing Mercedes-AMG GT R isn't enough, the AMG GT Pro takes it up another notch and delivers performance to match its looks.
Paul Maric
Incredibly focused performance offering
The noise at full flight is hard to match
Very limited, even compared to the upcoming Black Series
Some interior ergonomics a little flawed
It's not often that you get access to a race track and even less often does the race track come with a set of Mercedes-AMG GT Rs and a Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro for you to sample for the day.
Better yet, the race track is the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit, and it's sunny. There's few ways a day like this can go wrong.
To celebrate the arrival of the limited-edition GT R Pro to Australia, Mercedes-Benz organised a track day for us to test the GT R Pro with expert tuition, along with the Mercedes-AMG A45 S, which will soon be announced with a new set of track tyres for buyers (we'll have a review of this soon).
How much does the Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro cost?
Limited to 750 vehicles in total around the globe, just 15 AMG GT R Pros will be coming to Australia. While Mercedes-Benz hasn't announced a production cap for the even higher performance Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, it's likely they will produce more of those than the GT R Pro, with at least 25 of the GT Black Series coming to Australia next year.
With a price tag of $453,200 plus on-road costs, the GT R Pro carries a premium of $84,865 over the GT R.
That extra investment gets you a raft of lightweight race-ready components and the added allure of exclusivity.
There are six colours to pick from, with the AMG Solar Beam yellow seen here carrying a premium over the other five colours ($16,400 premium).
The Mercedes-AMG GT R is already well equipped.
The GT R Pro takes it to the next level with active engine mounts for the engine and transaxle, manually-adjustable suspension preload height and damping, a carbon torsion bar, a half roll cage, four-point racing harness, adjustable carbon rear wing, a sheer panel across the subframe for added rigidity, fixed-back carbon race seats, functional bonnet vents and a raft of additional carbon-fibre bits across the body.
On the outside you'll find matrix LED headlights, staggered 19- and 20-inch alloy wheels (front/rear), LED tail lights, carbon-ceramic brakes (402mm rotors up front), proximity key entry and start, along with unique GT R Pro decals.
Inside the cabin it looks fairly similar to the rest of the AMG GT range, with the exception of the fixed-back carbon seats and four-point racing harness (which is joined by a regular seatbelt for compliance). A variable traction control dial is located beneath the infotainment system, while the flat-bottomed steering wheel comes with drive mode controls and fits nicely in the hands.
The cabin itself can feel a little cramped with the engine sitting quite far back and the transaxle sitting just behind the driver and front passenger seats.
But, Mercedes-AMG has ensured the seating position and visibility is absolutely on point. With the racing harness tight, all of the critical controls are within easy reach and the steering wheel can move through its full range of motion. The only part we found tricky was engaging a gear, with the gear lever set quite far back in the centre tunnel.
What's under the bonnet?
The heart of the Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro is a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 that produces 430kW of power and 700Nm of torque.
It's mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and torque is sent exclusively to the rear wheels.
Mercedes-Benz claims a 0-100km/h performance time of just 3.6 seconds using the unbuilt launch control, with a top speed of 318km/h.
Official fuel consumption comes in at 11.4 litres per 100km, with 98 RON premium unleaded fuel required as a minimum.
How does the Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro drive on the track?
We've driven plenty of Mercedes-AMG GTs on suburban streets. They sound great, they look great and they go as hard as they sound.
But, on a race track, this vehicle is an entirely different beast. The softer edge you find on the street vanishes and it turns into a fire-breathing monster.
It's noticeably louder than a regular Mercedes-AMG GT and while it feels as quick in a straight line, it's through corners where the GT R Pro feels like a completely different car.
Feedback through the steering is incredibly direct and it can only be described as razor sharp. Through the first turn at Phillip Island, the fast sweeper only demands a small amount of steering input to place the car. The fast rack communicates what the chassis is doing perfectly.
As corners get tighter the front end turns in quickly and feels unflappable with an almost endless amount of grip and traction.
The sound is stupidly good. It's loud inside the cabin with the car in Sport+ mode – it barks, pops and wails as the twin-turbocharged V8 crams as much torque as it can down the driveline.
Unless you're overtly aggressive on the throttle, the rear end remains settled and gives you the traction you need to shoot out of a corner. If you do get greedy with the throttle it offers enough latitude with the stability control to keep things under control and within reach of the regular driver.
Traction comes in the form of 275mm wide front (19-inch wheel) and 325mm wide rear (20-inch wheel) Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres to keep things in check.
At 250km/h (the speed you'll nudge at the end of the straight at Phillip Island) an extra 99kg of downforce is generated by the carbon wing and carbon components at the rear. At these speeds it feels rock solid, even with a strong crosswind under braking at the end of the front straight.
That extra downforce helps keep the car settled at speed and most importantly helps control braking in straight lines from high speeds.
Speaking of which, the brakes are insanely good. Yes, they are carbon ceramic, which means they are fade resistant, but brake pedal feel is consistently strong. There was never a point where the pedal went long or the brakes felt inadequate when it came to pulling the car up.
We didn't get the chance to test the GT R Pro on the street, but with such a close focus on track performance, it's likely the polished poise and ride comfort of the regular AMG GT may be lost slightly.
CarExpert's Take on the Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro
The Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro really is a special vehicle. It's sharp, fast and loud, plus it has looks to kill.
The way it handles long straights at a fast track like Phillip Island is impressive, but more impressive is its agility through corners.
We're incredibly excited for the arrival of the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, especially if the GT R Pro is anything to go by.
With only 15 of the GT R Pro coming to Australia, if you see one of these on the road, tip your hat to the person that's likely to have a ripper time the next time they find themselves at a track day.

This album likely wouldn't have even been on my radar as recently as a couple of years ago, let alone made it into my top three picks of the year. However classical-jazz crossover is a genre that is becoming increasingly present on my playlists, a sure sign that my musical horizons are finally broadening. Anyone With A Heart sees composer and pianist Iiro Rantala team up with violinist Adam Baldych and cellist Asja Valcic to create and present in classical piano trio form a delightful collection of gems, all of which are original excluding a homage to the much loved Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
I'm a big fan of Bugge Wesseltoft, Norway's finest exponent of contemporary instrumental music, so the release this year of an album made with est bass player Dan Berglund and German DJ Henrik Schwarze was a cause for celebration. Unlike Duo the album he made with Schwarze in 2011 Trialogue is less beat driven and more subliminal, it incorporates a string quartet on some numbers but it's the presence of Berglund's double bass that alters the mood. Time will tell if it matches the brilliance of Duo but less than a month in the signs are very good, it gets better on every listen.
A commendation is required for two Brazilian musicians who at times threatened to hijack the very top spots. Benjamin Taubkin's Al Quantara & The Bridge and Clarice Assad's Imaginerium should be on the shortlists of all music lovers this Christmas. Their music is as innovative and musical as they are emotional and original.


Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Cecilia, Louisiana?
There are numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers possibilities open to folks living in the Cecilia region. It is important to understand each of the varieties of treatment possibilities that are offered in Cecilia, AB., to be able to choose the ideal rehabilitation approach for yourself or a family member. Choosing the right drug rehab facility in Cecilia is the most important factor in the treatment of drug abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. This information will help you recognize your numerous rehab choices allowing an individual to have the greatest possibility of a successful end result.
Let's have a look at the many drug rehabilitation facilities in Cecilia, Louisiana options that correlate with the circumstances of the individual seeking rehab.
Inpatient drug treatment in Cecilia, AB. is often a rehab possibility best for those who need medical treatment during rehab or clients with substantial drug use histories. People can develop mental and physical dependence to drugs and alcohol even after a short period of time, so inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Cecilia is regarded as the best rehab possibility in virtually all scenarios. Because of dependence and addiction, men and women will often not be able to recover with the limited solutions provided by outpatient rehab programs in Cecilia, Louisiana where drugs are still easily accessible when they depart the outpatient program. In addition, people in rehab who take part in outpatient rehabilitation rather than inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Cecilia continue to be vulnerable to damaging relationships and conditions which can compromise their recovery process. If a person resides with an abusive companion or continues to maintain associations which involve substance abuse, any rehabilitation activities in outpatient rehab are done in vain. That is why in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Cecilia, AB. will produce more beneficial results that may prove long lasting in contrast to an outpatient drug and alcohol treatment program where benefits could be very minimal and acute.
In Cecilia there's both short-term and long-term inpatient drug rehabilitation. Short-term is often a 30-day center, while long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Cecilia, Louisiana is significantly more prolonged and rehabilitation lasts 90-120 days generally speaking. It is deemed an ideal setting for clients as it is a safe and secure drug free environment where they're able to recover both mentally and physically without distraction. Preferably, men and women proceed in the long-term in-patient drug treatment program in Cecilia for the maximum time frame permitted, in order to handle anything which might cut across their abstinence once they leave treatment. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stable can take two to three weeks by itself, the 3-6 months in long-term in-patient alcohol and drug rehab in Cecilia is going to be time wisely spent and significantly more efficient than short-term facilities.
The key component of all if you or someone you love has a substance abuse or addiction issue is to get it resolved right away, make calls and seek advice from skilled addiction professionals and get an assessment and treatment possibilities to guarantee the biggest chance for a full recovery.

As we go along in our busy days, don't forget to notice the little things. I found this lost tube of lipstick inspiring.
First of all, what color is it? Poppy Pink? Amaryllis Rose?
Second of all, did the person who owned it know that the tube slipped out of her purse and then panic when the meal was over and she didn't have her lipstick?
Also, what happened to the tube that it is crushed on one side? And where is the top?
I challenge you to find it.

Eighteen years ago I became a foster parent after reading a newspaper article about a 5-month-old baby who was kidnapped from his crib in foster care. The article was a catalyst for my family to step up to the plate and support our foster care system. My husband and I enrolled in foster parent training classes and were delighted when two beautiful little sisters were placed in our home.
I entered the world of child welfare with a 5-month-old on one hip and a 17-month-old on the other. I knew very little about our foster care system. I had one foot in the "Land of Opportunity" where my children by birth grew up and where they received all of the resources they needed to live healthy, connected and fulfilling lives. My other foot was planted firmly in the "Land of Child Welfare" where resources were scarce and every year nearly 25,000 young people "age out" of foster care alone and at risk for homelessness, unemployment, incarceration, teen parenting and lives of poverty.
As a former teacher, I know that we make a promise to children when we remove them from their homes: to provide them with safety and to find them a permanent loving connection if they cannot be returned their first family.
I also knew that the children and youth living in foster care need a passionate advocate, so I sold my businesses and dedicated myself to inviting Americans of all ages and backgrounds to become resources to children in their communities and inspiring a Re-Envisioning of Foster Care in America.
The first thing I did was to establish a vibrant nonprofit organization called the Treehouse Foundation. Treehouse's vision: Every child rooted in family and community. Our goal: To move children out of foster care into permanent, loving families and communities that invest in their hopes, dreams, lives and futures. Our award winning approach: intergenerational communities where families adopting children from foster care live next door to older Americans (55+) who act as "honorary grandparents".
Treehouse is a special place where all generations thrive. It is a place of belonging, connection and community. It is a compassionate neighborhood where diversity, foster/adoptive families and elders are honored and celebrated.
Over the first decade of Life on Treehouse Circle, we have accomplished many milestones. Kids are growing up surrounded by people who love them. They are graduating from school and heading off to college and vocational programs to pursue their dreams. They are graduating from college.
Families are helping move children out of foster care. Elders are passing on their knowledge to the next generation. People of all ages are living lives of purpose and meaning. Together we are creating a Culture of Possibility.
This year, as we plan our 11th Anniversary, the Treehouse Team is preparing to share the learning. We are collaborating with stellar teams in California and Massachusetts to plan and build two more Inter-generational communities.
As we prepare to watch The Hero Effect episode about the innovative Treehouse Community, we are delighted to be given this fabulous opportunity to show the nation how worthy our children and youth who have experienced foster care are. We invite all of The Hero Effect viewers to come stand together under the Banner of Shared Responsibility with us so that all generations thrive!

I have used stunning goldwork threads, sadie threads, tiny beads and handmade beads made from gold thread.
An Abstract design on a red and black hand dyed velvet background with light padding.
This was professionally framed by a local framer using a plain black wooden frame.
Size of frame approx 10" x 9.5"
I have a second design to match this one in my shop made with gold leather and the same beautiful threads.
Goldwork is a very delicatr.e form of embroidery and the threads can be quite difficult to work with but they give a beautiful effect when finished.
Thank you for your time viewing my picture, these have both been significantly reduced as I am no longer making embroidered pictures for sale.

Twitter 'sued by Crown Estate over unpaid rent' at its London headquarters
January 23, 2023 Express Informer
Twitter sued by Crown Estate over alleged failure to pay rent at its London headquarters
By Archie Mitchell For The Daily Mail
Published: 21:50 GMT, 23 January 2023 | Updated: 21:50 GMT, 23 January 2023
Twitter is being sued by the Crown Estate over an alleged failure to pay rent at its London headquarters.
The estate overseeing the King's property portfolio has brought a claim against the social media giant in the High Court.
A spokesman for the estate said the dispute was related to Twitter's West End headquarters.
Rent row: The Crown Estate has brought a claim against the social media giant in the High Court. It is believed to be over its first floor office in Picadilly Circus (pictured)
The offices are believed to be over its first-floor office in the Piccadilly Circus site, which Twitter has occupied since 2014.
The group's signs and logos have been removed from the building, but an employee told The Daily Telegraph the company still had a presence in the building.
Earlier this month Twitter staff at its Singapore office were told to work from home after the company was reported to have fallen behind on rent.
It is the latest legal headache for the company since Elon Musk's disastrous £38billion takeover in October, days after which he axed half of Twitter's 7,500 employees.
Former Twitter staff in the UK are also taking legal action against the company, claiming they were unlawfully dismissed during mass job cuts following the deal.
London law firm Winckworth Sherwood has accused Twitter of 'unlawful, unfair and completely unacceptable treatment'.
Twitter was asked to comment.
The dispute also comes as Twitter's daily revenues sit 40 per cent lower than a year ago as a slew of advertisers have paused spending since the Tesla tycoon's takeover.

Q: Create Unique number based on input numbers I have three numbers of type Long. Say, 1001, 2005, 8001.
I need a method to generate a new number of type Long based on these three numbers. Any logic can be applied. Output should be always same whenever we use the same combination of numbers otherwise not.
I need to solve this using Java.

A: How about this?
long combine(long a, long b, long c) {
    return Long.rotateLeft(a, 32) ^ Long.rotateLeft(b, 16) ^ c;
}

I used rotate rather than shift because you said "Concatenation is also not a option here. What if I use maximum values of Long?" Shift would shift some bits right out, but rotate will only move them around. The output will depend on all the bits of all three longs, but because they are rotated by different amounts, combine(a, b, c) will produce a different result than combine(c, a, b) (unless a == b and b == c, of course).

A: Seems like a hash function may be what you need.
Hash functions map an input set to an output set, usually with the goal of it not being "easy" to know what the output will be from the input and such that small changes to the input yield different outputs. In your case the input is a tuple of three longs, and the output is a long.
It is deterministic, which fulfills your requirement for identical input yielding identical output.
From Wikipedia:

A hash procedure must be deterministic—meaning that for a given input value it must always generate the same hash value. In other words, it must be a function of the data to be hashed, in the mathematical sense of the term.

It is impossible to guarantee that the two different inputs will have the same outputs because of the Pigeonhole Principle, but a good hash function will be collision-resistant, meaning it is hard to find two inputs with the same output.
There are plenty of hash functions out there. For some examples:

*

*SHA-2

*SHA-3

*BLAKE3
For a more extensive list see this Wikipedia article:
List of Hash Functions
The exact way to approach this is up to you, one implementation off the top of my head is to convert the longs to strings, concatenate them, and hash that concatted string, then return that hash as a long.


The audio of this re-creation is from the collection of voice-over announcer Jerry Immel, who contributed all of the audio on our 1950's TV sign-off page. Mr. Immel had very recently found this clip and quickly sent it to the Webmaster. The SOGP in the video was the version used by the NAB between mid-1955 and early 1958. From mid-1951 to early-1958 the NAB was known as the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters (NARTB). This version was the first to utilize the shape of a TV screen with olive branches on the sides. The Seal is original: it was found online by the Webmaster some years ago on a webpage that has since disappeared. Since the clouds in the original had been cropped out in the image that was found, the Webmaster placed the SOGP inside a photo of clouds taken by he some years back. The WCBS-TV "Big 2" slide is one used by the station in the late 1950s (apologies for the low quality of the image). It is similar to the one featured in the 1964 re-creation sign-off linked below.

Chen In-chin () is now a Taiwanese professor at National Central University. He was the Chairperson of Central Election Commission from 17 November 2017 to 25 November 2018.

Education and academic career
Chen obtained his bachelor's and master's degree in law from National Taiwan University in 1986 and 1992 respectively. He then obtained his doctoral degree in law from Heidelberg University in Germany in 1999.

Chen began teaching at Ming Chuan University as an assistant professor of law in 2000. He was promoted to associate professor in 2003. He left Ming Chuan University for National Central University (NCU) in 2006, and was appointed to the rank of full professor in 2008. He was the director of the Graduate Institute of Law and Government at NCU between 2015 and 2017.

Central Election Commission
Chen won 70 of 72 ballots in a Legislative Yuan vote in November 2017, confirming him to the chairmanship of the Central Election Commission.

Chen believed he was impeached for his faithful implementation of Interpretation Nr. 748.  Interpretation No. 748 requires lawmakers to legalize same-sex marriage within two years, as long as it allows same-sex couples to get married, either by amending the Civil Code or enacting a special law, and if the Legislative Yuan has not completed amending the law by May 24, 2019, same-sex couples can register for marriage directly under the Civil Code.  Judicial Yuan President Hsu Tzong-li said "the result of the referendum cannot contradict the holdings of the Taiwan Constitutional Court" 。The Supreme Administrative Court ruling reveals that the Central Election Commission (CEC) has a "constitutional obligation to deliver a constitutional administrative act" by examining whether the referendum proposal complies with Interpretation of the Taiwan Constitutional Court.

Former Ombudswoman Ms. Gau Fehng-Shian believed that "same-sex marriage is against public order and morality" ,and "the laws of men are no match for morality, much less for the law of Christ," she vowed to "become a wise overseer, making laws after God's will.  She invited representatives of religious groups to form the Taiwan Religious Alliance for Family Protection (TAFP) in 2013 to oppose gay marriage.  The Family Protection League and other groups opposing same-sex marriage formed the Next Generation Happiness Coalition (CHNG).  The leading proposer of the 12th national referendum, Tseng Hsien-Ying, is one member of the CHNG.

During the referendum campaign, Ombudswoman Ms. Gau called Mr. Tseng and offered to help in any way she could.
The Executive Yuan submitted updated submissions on October 29, 2018, clearly stating , if this ballot initiative is passed, the government will proceed to realize the right of same-sex marriage.  The supplemental submission annoyed Mr. Tseng. After reading the updated opinion, "many (anti-gay-marriage) people are now rumoring whether the 12th referendum is invalid, whether they should vote no (to this referendum)?" "Our (Mr. Tseng's campaign) office has received over 250 phone calls per day from citizens asking if they should go to vote. How should they vote".  On November 15, 2018, Mr. Tseng petitioned his case to Ombudswoman Ms. Gau, saying that the government's position paper has "confused voters' judgment". Ms. Gau immediately sent two official letters to the CEC before the referendum, requesting accountability for the "confusion of voters judgement".
Chen resigned after the local election on 24 November 2018.  On 7 November 2019, the Control Yuan voted to impeach Chen. The investigatory agency determined that the Organic Law of the Central Election Commission was violated during the 2018 Taiwanese referendum. The impeachment reiterates that the CEC's announcement of the Executive Yuan's clarification to let the public understand that if the referendum passes, same-sex couples will be able to marry under a special law is confusing the  (anti-gay-marriage) public's judgment.

Second Rush accuser comes forward
Actress Yael Stone has accused actor Geoffrey Rush of sexual misconduct during a production of Diary of a Madman in Sydney in 2010 and 2011. In an interview ($) with The New York Times, Stone said Rush sent her "sexual" text messages, danced naked in front of her in their dressing room, and used a handheld mirror to look at her while she showered. Stone said she never considered "speaking to anyone in any official capacity" due to "the reality of professional influence and the reality of a complicated friendship", and that Rush never replied to an email she wrote him last year in which she shared her thoughts about his actions. In a statement, Rush said that while "Yael has been upset on occasion by the spirited enthusiasm I generally bring to my work … the allegations of inappropriate behaviour made by Yael Stone are incorrect and in some instances have been taken completely out of context". Rush is suing the Daily Telegraph over allegations he groped actress Eryn Jean Norvill during a production of King Lear.
Nationals MP Andrew Broad has stepped down as assistant minister to deputy prime minister Michael McCormack over allegations he used an online "sugar daddy" service while in Hong Kong. Lifestyle magazine New Idea reported on Monday that Broad sent sexually explicit messages to a woman nearly 20 years his junior, before taking her to a restaurant and repeatedly placing her hand on his leg. The woman alleged Broad repeatedly referred to himself as "James Bond", bragged about his position in the federal government and recited his election speech over dinner. Broad was a prominent opponent of legalising same-sex marriage, in 2016 comparing same-sex relationships to "rams in a paddock".
In the United Kingdom, opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn has threatened to table a motion of no confidence in prime minister Theresa May over her failure to bring her government's draft Brexit agreement before parliament for a vote. Speaking in the House of Commons on Monday, May said a vote would be held on January 14 following a week of debate, and that parliament should "not break faith with the British people by trying to stage another referendum".
And federal Labor has promised to abolish the Community Development Program Indigenous employment training policy. Speaking at the ALP national conference on Monday, senator for Western Australia, Pat Dodson, said Labor would scrap the "discriminatory, punitive and ineffectual" CDP as part of Labor's reconciliation action plan. Indigenous workers' union the First Nations Workers Alliance described the announcement as "a huge win for 30,000+ workers who've been racially discriminated against through this scheme for the last 3 years". A policy proposal to criminalise ex-gay "conversion therapy" failed at the conference on Monday, while the party announced it would accept another 4000 refugees a year and give the United Nations refugee agency an extra $500 million a year.

You already knew the answer, didn't you.
"A push within the Labor Party to overhaul its approach to asylum seekers has been neutered, with only minor changes to be made to the ALP's official policy platform ...

London―The European Commission is said to be planning to charge Google with using its dominant position in online search to favor the company's own services over others, in what would be one of the biggest antitrust cases here since regulators went after Microsoft.
Europe's competition chief, Margrethe Vestager, is expected to make an announcement in Brussels on Wednesday that Google has abused its dominant position, according to two people who spoke Tuesday on the condition of anonymity.
The decision to push ahead with a so-called statement of objections is the latest twist in the lengthy investigation into Google's activities in Europe, where it holds a roughly 90 percent share in the region's search market. If Europe is successful in making its case, the American tech giant could face a huge fine and be forced to alter its business practices to give smaller competitors like Yelp greater prominence in its search queries.
A representative for Google declined to comment on any potential action by the European authorities. But in an internal memo to employees, first obtained by the technology news site Re/code, the company said it expected the commission to file a statement of objections about how the company displays search results, particularly for shopping. It also expected the authorities to open an investigation into Android, the Google software that runs a majority of the world's smartphones.
It is still unclear what specific accusations Ms. Vestager plans to include in the charges against Google. But the pressure the company faces in Europe is just one of the regulatory problems that American tech giants like Amazon, Facebook and Apple are facing across the 28-member bloc.
Europe's antitrust officials have already opened investigations into whether Apple and Amazon received preferential treatment in their low-tax arrangements ― Apple in Ireland and Amazon in Luxembourg. In addition, privacy watchdogs across the region are asking whether companies like Facebook have securely protected people's online data. Policy makers are also investigating whether American Internet platforms like Amazon have too much control over how Europeans gain access to online services.
European lawmakers have said that these inquiries are not specifically aimed at American tech companies, though many industry executives say they are aimed at helping European tech companies, which have so far been unable to rival their much larger United States competitors.
The investigation against Google has already dragged on for nearly five years at the European Commission without formal charges or a negotiated settlement. That has prompted criticism that the region's most important antitrust enforcer has been too easy on Google.
Europe's main focus of investigation is whether Google has abused its search engine's large market share by favoring its own products. The search engine is more dominant in Europe than in the United States, where competitors like Microsoft's Bing have a sizable market share.
Ms. Vestager, a Danish politician who took over as the European Union's top antitrust official in November, is scheduled to travel to Washington later this week, where she is expected to meet senior justice officials and participate in antitrust conferences.
More than two dozen companies and organizations have filed antitrust complaints in Europe against Google. Many are in Germany, where powerful publishing groups and online firms have called on the European regulator to stop the American search giant from blocking competition in sectors like online mapping, travel services and shopping.
If Google fails to rebut any formal charges, Ms. Vestager could levy a fine that could exceed 6 billion euros, or $6.4 billion ― about 10 percent of Google's most recent annual revenue. But the largest single fine yet levied in such a case falls well short of that mark: The record is �1.1 billion in 2009 against Intel for abusing its dominance of the computer chip market.
The commission previously spent years reining in Microsoft, which accrued a total of almost �2 billion in European fines over a decade, including a penalty in 2013 for failing to adhere to an earlier settlement.
Google still could settle the matter. But whatever the search giant might negotiate with the commission, analysts say, the deal will have a greater impact on its business than previous attempts to settle. Ms. Vestager's predecessor, Joaquín Almunia, gave Google three opportunities to make concessions that were aimed at allowing the company to escape both a fine and a formal finding of wrongdoing.
